“Dear Brent,
I just wanted to tell you thank you for what you did for my family. You will never know how much I am indebted to you. Words can not express the appreciation I feel and thank you does not seem to be enough but please know that I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
“I am very grateful for your efforts to help my son . . . you don’t know how much you have helped me . . . , just to know that you are on the case relieves a lot of stress from me.”
“You worked as hard as you could and made sure that I got the outcome in this case that I wanted. You listened to me and did your best. I would recommend you to anyone with great confidence that you will do the same for them.”
“Mr. Horst, when I needed a lawyer I spoke with my father who is an attorney. He told me you were a great trial lawyer. Having seen how you handled my case, I now know why he said that. Thank you for all you have done.”
“I was faced with two serious criminal offenses that could have landed me in prison for twenty four years, and what was even worse; the police department had accused the wrong person. Mr. Horst gave me confidence by being understanding, and working hard and by going the extra mile and by obtaining acquittals in both trials. Thanks Attorney Horst, you saved my life.”
